Itinerary

Parthenon, Athens

Welcome to Athens!

This Greece trip package begins in Athens. Upon your arrival, the driver will be waiting for you right outside the Arrivals Hall holding a sign with your name to transfer you to your hotel. Our representative will wait for you in the hotel to welcome you and brief you about your trip. Check in and enjoy free time for relaxation or a stroll through the capital of Greece.

Acropolis

Panoramic sightseeing in Athens - Group tour

On day 2 of the essential Greece trip package, you will travel through time between the “old” and the “new” Athens. You will marvel at the magnificent ancient ruins of the past and explore the modern architecture of the city. You will have the chance to visit the Acropolis, an exquisite landmark of Athens, exhibiting its glorious history along with the Parthenon, the Propylea, the temple of Athena, Nike, and the Erechtheion. Other equally impressive and historic sites are the Roman Temple of Olympic Zeus and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is housed with the Parliament House in Syntagma (Constitution) Square. 

Group tour of Mycenae, the kingdom of mythical Agamemnon

Starting from Athens, we drive westwards along the scenic coast until we reach the Corinth Canal to take in its breathtaking views (Short Stop). The Corinth Canal is a junction of international sea transport that serves ships coming from the western Mediterranean and Adriatic en route to the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea ports. You’ll continue along the coastal road of the Saronic Gulf to Epidaurus. 

Group tour of Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games

Olympia is the most celebrated sanctuary of ancient Greece, dedicated to Zeus, the father of the gods, it sprawls over the southwest foot of Mount Kronos, at the confluence of the Alpheios and the Kladeos rivers. Although secluded near the west coast of the Peloponnese, Olympia became the most important religious and athletic center in Greece. Its fame rests upon the Olympic Games, which was held every four years to honor Zeus. You’ll visit this archaeological site and the museum before driving to Rion,   the channel to Antirrion, onto the new state of the art suspended bridge, considered to be the longest and most modern in Europe. You will then arrive in Nafpaktos and continue to Delphi for dinner and an overnight stay.

Group tour of Delphi, the navel of the earth

Situated at the foot of Mount Parnassos, within the angle formed by the twin rocks of the Phaedriades, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, the home of the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was regarded as the center of the world. According to mythology, it is here that the two eagles sent out by Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the navel of the world met. 

Group tour of the breathtaking Meteora

Today we will see one of the most amazing places in Greece – Meteora. Meaning ‘suspended in air’ the name Meteora soon came to encompass the entire rock community of the 24 biggest and most important group of monasteries in Greece, after those in Mount Athos. Monks descended the mountains in nets or on retractable wooden ladders up to 40m long to the fertile valleys below. Each community developed its own resources and by the end of the 14th century, the Grand Meteoron emerged as the dominant community. The rock monasteries have been characterized by UNESCO as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage. After the visit, you’ll begin the drive back to Athens, passing through Thermopylae for a photo stop.

We had a great 10-day trip to Greece last month, thanks to Domna who created a perfect itinerary.
It was a very pleasant experience to interact with her - she was always very responsive, very pleasant and communicative.
The choice of hotels in all 5 places that we stayed were great - particularly the ones in Athens and Santorini.
All the logistics of the itinerary were executed flawlessly making it a stressless and relaxing vacation.
We will always remember Domna first when we think of our first trip to Greece - before all the memories that we made during the trip.

My family of 4 just got back from a 12 day trip to Greece where we spent time in Athens, Mykonos, Santorini & Crete. Domna was a pleasure to deal with right from the very beginning. She made it a point to get to know us and understand what was important to us in a vacation and then tailored our trip to our tastes. We wanted a 5-star hotel experience but not with US chains and we certainly experienced that with boutique hotels at every stop on our trip. My husband is also half Greek and it was important for us to have our kids experience the history and see where their great-grandparents were from in Crete. Domna arranged for local companies to take us between cities in Crete that allowed the flexibility to stop in the village where our family was from. The entire team she works with for excursions on every island makes you feel like family and Domna herself was available through the trip for questions and last minute changes and even welcomed us at our hotel when we first landed to give us an orientation of our itinerary! I booked a 2 week tour through Japan last year with another company that was not local and ran into so many issues with the time difference and dealing with a US company while abroad that this was a totally different experience! If I could give more stars I would! I highly recommend Trips 2 Greece and Domna and her entire team!
